All about H

The lovely JJ has tagged me with the letter H (I did ask for a letter so brought it upon myself...well, I thought you needed a break before I finish the Mae Hong Son trip) so I now have to blog about ten things I love beginning with the letter H

Here goes

1. Husband - I adore him...he's the only man I have ever met that can make me laugh so much I get belly ache and I wouldn't swap him for the world!! (Awww....kinda makes you want to go running for the nearest bucket doesn't it!!)2. Handbags - (Chris you came before Handbags....that's true love for you!!). This is a recent discovery for me....I always liked them but they didn't have my heart till JJ introduced me to the joy that is Mulberry Handbags....I shall never be the same again and it's all her fault!!

3. High Heels - I really did wrack my brains to find a way of including shoes on this list!! (Handbags and High Heels - That almost makes me sound like a classy lady....those of you that read this blog regularly will know that I'm not but hey....I can dream!!)

4. Holidays - I love going on holiday (who doesn't??). I get excited just thinking about all the amazing places I want to see and, sad person that I am, I regularly look on the internet for interesting places that I could visit one day. (Yesterday it was Machu Picchu....I soooo want to go there!!)

5. Hotels - I have no idea why but I love staying overnight in hotels....I think it's something to do with the clean crisp white sheets that they have on the beds.

6. Home - I love going away but I love coming home again too!! Home is where Chris is and that changes as we move around but in terms of an actual place.....well, it would have to be Glasgow. (The picture is of Glasgow School of Art...it was built by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is absolutely stunning!!)

7. Hugging - There is nothing quite like a big hug when you are feeling blue!!

8. Herbs - Cause I love cooking and have a weird and wonderful collection of herbs!!

9. Hiccups - They make me giggle!! (Can you tell I am now struggling for words that begin with H?)

10. Hchocolate - hehehehe

If you would like to do this alphabet Meme then just let me know and I will give you a letter :-)

What a lovely collection of H loves. I think I'm with you on all of them as well. I also have Mulberry handbag love - well actually any decent bag will do but my most expensive was a Mulberry briefcase type of shoulder bag that I got for work and is now lying in the cupboard gathering dust.

10th Jan- hmmm,how soon can we expect you up and blogging? 11th? 12th?

I think a lot of these so-called ' high-end bags' are mostly put together in the Far East anyway,with maybe the designer's logo put on in the Milan or Paris atelier. When I was in Bangkok the fakes I saw looked simply amazing.

French Fancy, yes some of the time the 'fakes' are even made by the same factory as the originals! I've seen original Man United t-shirts and copies from the same place in Bangkok, the latter a tiny fraction of the price. They look identical. Same with bags too. I brought back a ton of bona fide top quality Laos-made stuff (without the designer labels) last time I went over to France - some costing between 2 and 3 euros. Scarves too, very popular.

French Fancy - I'm hopping to keep blogging all the way through...the big question is...do I change the name of my blog and if so to what??

(Hmmm, might do a post about that nearer the time...ask for suggestions)

The fakes here are completely amazing....my friend and I are planning to do a comparison. We both have the same bag but she has the real and I have the fake...it will be interesting to see if we can tell the difference!!

The Frog Blogger - It's the same with some of the sunglasses manufacturers here as well. Same factory, same design, same materials but no name added.

Troy - LOL..you sure I can't tempt you with a wee letter?? Not sure about hiking in high heels...actually I'm not sure about hiking at all...but if that is the only way to Machu Picchu then I guess hiking it will have to be!!

Blu - Thanks hon....I did my best :-)

DJ - Of course you can have a letter my dear....I think I shall give you the letter B (Since your about to have a Book launch)

Hey there, you Superior Scribbler, you! First of all, I'm not "spamming" you; I promise! Second of all, I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Melissa B., The Scholastic Scribe, & I'm the "Original" Superior Scribbler! Third thing on my mind: I've been nominated for a pretty prestigious blog award; I'd greatly appreciate your vote, so if you click on over to my place, you'll see the info. It's an annual award from EduBlog, and I'm up for Best Individual Blog. And 4th thing on today's agenda: I've got a cute "contest," of sorts, going on at my place every Sunday. Please come by this Sunday for the Silly Sunday Sweepstakes. And, thanks for your support!
